Trump’s good mood and jovial demeanor turned foul after the indictment dropped and his team started scrambling, per The Washington Post.
Former President Donald Trump was joking with aides and in high spirits until the New York indictment took him and his staffers by surprise, per The .
The Post spoke to an aide who said Trump was joking about « golden handcuffs » in the days before he was indicted. Trump also thought an indictment would not come for weeks, if at all, two advisers told The Post.
One of the two advisers the Post spoke to added that Trump quickly became « irritated » and « deflated » after the indictment.
The former president’s team also started scrambling to sort out how to get him to New York for an arraignment next week, the adviser said.
